The production of Veldpond and the Veldpond Medals in the workshop of the Transvaal Gold Mining Estates Ltd (TGME) at Pilgrim's Rest was a remarkable achievement. It speaks of specialized knowledge, skill and creativity. Every member of the team who was involved should be recognized. It is therefore regrettable that one member of the team, namely PJ Kloppers claimed all the honour for himself at the expense of the other members. The distorted history of the Veldpond needs to be rectified.
